About this Shrine

Stack of Rice Shrine, located in Sapporo's Odori Park, was founded in 1869 by the Governor of Hokkaido, Okuma Shigenari, to offer prayers and gratitude for a bountiful harvest. The shrine honors the kami, Ōkami, who is believed to bring good luck, prosperity, and fertility to crops. The shrine's architecture reflects its history as a modern temple built during the Meiji period, with influences from traditional Japanese design.

Cultural Significance

Ōkami is associated with agriculture, prosperity, and good luck in Hokkaido. The shrine hosts an annual Ōbun festival in late April, which celebrates the arrival of spring and honors Ōkami's role in bringing fertility to the land.
